What does 1.5L and 1.5T displacement mean?
1 Answers
Displacement 1.5L refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters; 1.5T refers to a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. Natural aspiration is a type of car intake that relies on atmospheric pressure to force air into the combustion chamber without any supercharger. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases generated by internal combustion engine operation to drive an air compressor. The 1.5L engine has relatively high reliability, a lower failure rate during use, and relatively low daily maintenance costs. For vehicles with 1.5T engines, the turbocharger may need to be replaced after reaching 150,000 kilometers, and the maintenance costs for engines with a "T" are higher.
